good friends, and the latter, with his daugh-
ter, accepted an invitation to visit tho Aston
country place at Rhinebeck on the Hudson.
There Miss Gibbes met John Jacob Aston,
then but 20 years of age, and love and mar
riage followed. Mrs. Astor's charity was so
well known during her later years that it
was necessary for her to employ an amanu-
ensis to answer the begging letters with
which she was deluged; and, of course, many
undeservfng ones were helped; but no worthy
person was ever turned away
Tn Aston family is now one of the his
torical institutions of the country-a family
in which the wealth has increased steadily
and rapidly for four generations. Its founder
was John Jacob Astor, born July II, 1868, in
Waldorf, Germany. In 1873 he came to
America with a small stock of musical in
struments, but soon went into the fur trade.
He prospered so greatly that he sent two yes
sells to the Pacific coast, and in 1911 the town
of Astoria was founded at the mouth of the
Columbia river. The war of 1872 ruined his
business, but he invested his capital in United
States securities and real estate in the city of
New York when both wero at their lowest,
and in n few years they doubled in value.
Since then the Astors nave had almost their
entire fortune in real estate, but building

Long Interlude.

Washington Corr. New York Herald.
A recent copy of an Indiana paper
contains the following paragraph:
MARRIED-On November 90, by the Rev
Dr. Turnbull, George A. Dawson OF Louis.
lana To Miss Alice Lemon oil Washington,
d.. C..
This marriage is the sequel to ali
unusually ramantic story. George
Dawson, n young captain in the con-
federate al my, lay seriously injured in
1864, q prisoner OF war, in the United
States hospital at Indianapolis. One
OF the ladies who visited the hospital
frequently and ministered alike to the
wearers Of the blue and the gray, was
n Mrs. Lemon, the wealthy widow OF
Union officer. In these visits Mrs.
Lemon was usually accompanied by
her daughter Alice, then little miss
oil ten years. A fast friendship sprung
up between the youny confederate and
the little Union girl, which continued
some months until the former was ex-
changed and sent back to his regi.
1nent.
Seven years ago Mrs. Lemon died,
and Miss Alice, through the efforts OF
her Republican friends, secured a
clerkship in one OF the departments
here. Her health gradually failed,
and last October she resigned her posi-
ton and went West to reside with rel
atives. The announcement OF her res
ignation was printed in one OF the
New Orleans papers, where it met the
eye of Capt. Dawson, now a dignihed
bachelor OF middle age and one OF the
richest planters on the lower Alissis.
sippi. Capt. Dawson Immediately
wrote Miss Lemon and asked her il
she was his little sweetheart OF former
years, and ii so by what caprice OF
fortune she had been thrown upon her
own resources. Miss Lemon answered
the captain, detailing their finan-
cial losses ut the time OF the
Jay Cooke failure and the
subsequent death of her mother.
Capt. Dawson thereupon mailed the
lady n check for 81 900, which he
begged her to accept as slight recon-
pense for her mothers kindness to
him while prisoner of war. Miss
Lemon returned the check, saying
that under no circumstances could
she receive it.
Capt. Dawson then came north to
see if he could not personally prevail
upon the lady to accept his assistance.
He went to Indiana, intending to stop
only a couple of days, but he remain
ed a month. and when lac returned
he carried with him a northern bride
to grace his southern home.

STREET RAILROADS
And the City Council Lock Horns.

The matter of the attempt OF tho
extending the track on the Main
Street Railroad Line was BROUGHT TO
the notice of the city council last
night and the opinion of the city at
torney ask d. twas his opinion mat
said company had no right to extend
their line, as they had forfeited that
right by abandoning the reject long
ago; that there was an ordnance say
ing that no railroad can discontinue
any portion of its track II 1t Is IN
operation without the consent OF the
city council without forfeiting its
right of way. The city attorney gave
an al lie and lengthy opinion. Mr.
Bookhout offered the following re'o'
luton:
"That the mayor of the city, city
attorney aud police force be ana are
hereby instructed to protect the city
in its street paving and pavements ana
streets from the encroachm nis by any
and all street railroads, and especially
the Dallas Street Railroad from eX-
tending its road over Main street
westerly from Austin street"
Mr.. Ferris, president of the rail-
road, was present and was invited TO
address the meeting. lie claimed that
the company had not abandoned their
right to run to the square at any time
At the moment when the company
was ready to make the connection al
lowed them by the ordinance, the
council, he said, repealed that ordi-
nance, and hence he claimed the origi-
nal right reverted TO them.
Mr.. Bookhouts resolution was
adopted.

The Great Leland Stanford Uni.
versity.
Washington Letter.

verSity.
Washington Letter.
The senator had Francis A. Walker
and Frederick Law Olmstead with
him in California this summer. looking
over the ground, and is now engaged
with them in the preparation OF plans
for the buildings that are to be erected
for the accommodation OF the univer-
sity. Everything will be as fine as
money and experience can make it,
and the institution will be the most
literally endowed OF any in the world.
1t is the intention OF Mr. Stanford to
gather under the title oil the Leland
Stanford university group OF thir-
teen or more COLLEGES, where all the
liberal us well as he useful arts and
sciences will be taught to both young
men and young women and where the
most ample opportunities will be al
forded advanced students for re-
search and investigation. The chairs
oil instruction will be flied with ear
nest, ambitious, and progressive
young men who will have all the ia
cities for study and investigation at
their command, and who will not be
embarrassed by too many duties or
weighed down by the necessity OF
teaching for their sustenance. They
will be literally paidand encouraged to
win reputation for themselves as well
IS for Redistribution that fosters them.
According to the plan submitted and
now under consideration the univer-
sity is to be divided into twelve col
leges, as follows: l, administrations; 2,
chemistry; 3, mechanical engineering;
a, the mechanic arts; 5, civil engineer
ing; 6, physics and electri city; z, Ian.
guage and literature; 8, geology and
mineralogy; o, history and political
science; 10, biology; II, industrial de-
sign; IL, architecture.
Each department is to have its own
building and it's own working collec-
tions OF books and apparatus, and
there are to be in addition library,
museum, laboratory, reading room,
art gallery, and gymnasium in sepa-
rate buildings. There is to be q chapel
for devotional exercises and religious
instruction. As there is plenty OF
ground, the plan is to make each OF
the fifteen or sixteen buildings that
are contemplated only one story in
height, lighted by roofs OF glass tiles.
The buildings will be OF massive rough
stone, OF picturesque designs, and CON
nected by arcades, some being ITO,
some 90, and the rest 70 feet long.
All will have a width OF so feet, and
will be OF different heights, according
10 the purpose for which they are IN
tended and the taste OF the architect.
They are to be laid out originally for
the accommodation OF 500 students,
but will be so arranged that they can
be extended to accommodate 800.
The cottage sy stem of dormitories is
proposed each cottage being arranged
Tor the occupancy OF twenty or twenty
five students, and they are to be scat
tered through the park like village.
Mr.. Stanford takes the most absorb
ing interest in all the plans and prep
arations. and his endeavor is to secure
the greatest good to the greatest mum.
